Very Embarassed
So The 2nd day I got my brand new '07 GT i was backing it out of the garage, hit a ice pactch and slid right into my dads work van. The only damage done to the car were some minor scratches. I will get pics up this weekend when I have time to load them off my camera. Since I live in cleveland the weather sucks and i am now afraid to take it up to get fixed until the weather is nice. I feel like a moron 27 miles on the car and I already have to take it to get repainted. anyone else do something stupid like that when they first got there car?? I guess this teaches me a lesson. Mustang + Ice = no good. Oh by the way got the car Jan 26th 2007, wrecked Jan. 29 2007.

One night during the late summer a storm was rolling in and their were reports of hail. So i decided to pull the car underneath the carport. It's not a wide space so i had to pull a little more to the right so i can open the long door without banging it against the side of the house. In doing so i pulled it too far ahead forgetting the large gas grill was in the way. I heard the awful noise of it rubbing up against my fender. I put a nice 5-6 inch scratch and 2 small dents in the right fender. All the while trying to protect it from hail that never came! So i had it repainted and fixed and cost me a nice $550 plus a day for a rental car.

That sucks man. I have a similar story. I got my GT back last September, and on Nov 30, I was driving on crappy roads, and hyper aware (apparently not enough!) of the conditions. I decided to take the highway to get to my house, rather than the back roads, figuring they were safer. Until I hit an overpass, and totally lost control on an ice patch. Spun around over two full turns, ***-end of the car hit a concrete barrier. No airbag deployment, of course, but I was afraid to see the damage. I figured the entire rear end was destroyed. I was pleasantly surprised to get home and find the rear end wasn't that bad...bent the left tail pipe, and the rear bumper was bent with the rear quarter panel. It was in the body shop for three weeks, and looks good as new again. It was the ONE time I didn't take the Jeep out during snow. Never again. Retarded move on my part.

A while back in my '05 V6 I tried to squeeze between two tall construction "cones" (the big tall squarish ones). Stang mirror got knocked right off, hanging by the 'lectric wires. The sound was aweful and I was embarrassed as hell. At those kind of moments you feel like everyone is watching even if there is no-one around. Anyway, 1/4 tube of epoxy later and Shazam, good as new. One time I hit a curbon a slow turn and felt like an idiot only to find out later I lost one of my stupid "spinnners".Damn minivan rims!
